General Information What do graduates need to do before graduation? Cap and Gown Pickup Date and time of pickup will be communicated through the Docket. Attendance Requirement Attendance at the Commencement Ceremony and the School of Law Hooding Ceremony is not mandatory. Class Composite Pickup Individual 5 x 7 photos and class composites are available for pickup at the front desk in the Office of Student Services for those who paid the $17 class composite and individual 5 x 7 package. Diploma Holds The University Registrar will place a hold on an academic record and will not release official transcripts for students who owe tuition, library fines, traffic fines or health services fees. All debts must be cleared one week prior to graduation at the very latest. Such a hold means we are unable to release the final transcript or any student information or certify graduation to state bars or employers. Bar Certifications All bar certification forms should be given to the School of Law Registrar for completion except for the Missouri Bar. The Missouri Board of Law Examiners will automatically notify the School of Law Registrar. Students who plan to sit for the Missouri Bar or any other state bar must have a final transcript sent from the School of Law Registrar. Once all grades have been posted for all classes, graduates will receive an e-mail from the School of Law Registrar indicating when they should request their official transcript to send to the state bar. Grades will be entered at different times; some students will have all grades posted before others. It is imperative that you do not request your final transcript until you receive notification from the Registrar. The “degree awarded” and the “date the degree was awarded” must be posted to your final transcript (without this posting, the state bars will not accept the transcript as an official transcript). Students who need to be certified for other state bars should leave the proper certification form with the School of Law Registrar or request in writing that a certification letter be sent. Please remember that the School of Law Registrar can never request or send transcripts without your consent. You, the student, are the only one who can request transcripts from the University. You may request your transcript in Banner (log on to Banner Self-Service, Select: Student Resources and Financial Services, Select: Student Records, and Request a Transcript) or you may use the hard copy Transcript Request Form and return the completed form to the Office of Student Services. Name Pronunciation We want to be sure your name is pronounced properly, so I encourage you to
